Title	Donn Piatt Portraits
Subject	Literary Ohio Ohio Government Presidents and Politics Authors Portraits Poets
Place	West Liberty (Ohio) Logan County (Ohio) Cincinnati (Ohio) Hamilton County (Ohio)
Description	Two portraits show Ohio author, judge, and diplomat Donn Piatt at different stages of his life. The first portrait, which was printed by the Western Biographical Publishing Company, shows Piatt as a mature man. The second portrait is entitled "Donn Piatt at Fifteen After Portrait by [Godfrey] Frankenstein, 1834." Both portraits measure 5 by 8 inches (12.7 by 20.32 cm). They are taken from Donn Piatt: His Work and His Ways by Charles Grant Miller, which was published in 1893. Donn Piatt (1819-1891) was born in Cincinnati but moved to Mac-o-Cheek, the family home, when he was eight years old. He was educated in the public schools of Urbana and Bellfontaine and taught at the Athenauem (now Xavier University) in Cincinnati. He studied law and served as judge in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas and secretary of the American legation in Paris. He served in the 13th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (O.V.I.) during the Civil War, eventually rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. After the war, he went to Washington, D.C. as a correspondent for the Cincinnati Commercial, and later started his own magazine, The Capital. Piatt frequently attacked corruption in its pages. He was indicted for his violent disapproval of the electoral commission that resolved the election of 1878, but the charges were later dropped.
